It may not be an either/or answer if you are a NOW kind of person Dick. Buy the Mustang now, enjoy and drive it now, and you can be saving the extra dough to close the gap on the Daytona. When you have enough saved for the gap, sell the Mustang clone (if you buy it right), and pay for the Coupe when ready.

The best thing about clones is you can drive them and not stress about putting a few more miles on the car; and if they are really nice clones, kept well maintained, someone is always willing to take it off your hands later.
